January Reading

I’m not sure where I found the time to do all this reading last month, but I made my way through some great books!

Evidence Not Seen: A Woman’s Miraculous Faith in a Japanese Prison Camp During WWII by Darlene Deibler Rose. What a powerful and moving book! This woman’s faith and trust in God through all that she endured inspired me.

One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. I loved much of this book, but was put off by the terminology she used in the last chapter.

All the Money in the World: What the Happiest People Know about Getting and Spending by Laura Vanderkam

Finding God’s Path Through Your Trials: His Help for Every Difficulty You Face by Elizabeth George

Delivered with Love by Sherry Kyle. This was a cute fictional story.

My Southern Food: A Celebration of the Flavors of the South by Devon O’Day

His Needs, Her Needs by Willard F. Harley, Jr.

Through Gates of Splendor by Elisabeth Elliot. Don’t know how I’d missed this Christian classic! I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to have my daughters read it when they are older.

Lessons from Madame Chic: 20 Stylish Secrets I Learned while Living in Paris by Jennifer L. Scott. What a fun little book this was!

Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends by Pippa Middleton. The photography in this book was gorgeous. I was motivated to add a little more “celebration” to every day moments as well as for special occasions.

What did you think of His Needs Her Needs? It's been a long time since I read it, but I remember being put off by the chapter where he basically says that a wife needs to keep herself looking good so her husband will continue to love her.

His Needs, Her Needs was okay. The focus of the book was "affair-proofing" your marriage and that theme definitely ran throughout the book. Since I'd read it before (years ago, like you :), it was pretty much what I expected. I'm looking forward to reading some other books on marriage this year.
